Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb angel hair pasta
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup cracked black pepper
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup shredded parmsean cheese
  • ½ cup shredded regiano cheese
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place a large pot full of water to boil for the pasta on the stove. When the water begins to boil, cook pasta according to the directions for al dente on the packaging. While waiting for the water to boil, in another pot or deep frying pan begin melting the butter.
  • Add in the cracked black pepper. If you aren't a huge fan of black pepper, add in half of the amount and then you can add more when the sauce is finished if you find you'd like more.
  • Once the butter finishes melting and has combined with the black pepper, add in the heavy whipping cream. Whisk continually to combine the ingredients, keep whisking until the sauce comes to a light simmer.
  • Add in ½ cup of parmesan cheese and all of the reggiano cheese into the sauce and continue to whisk until combined.
  • By now the pasta should be done cooking, drain and place back into the pot. Add in the other ½ cuupof parmesan cheese to the pasta. Stir to combine.
  • Once the pasta and cheese is evenly combined, pour the sauce over the pasta and toss to combine. Serve immediately, top with more cracked black pepper or some fresh basil.
